What color will you paint on boat? also what kind and size of engines will install?

hi kevin

the best thing about having a furniture bussiness where we manufacture and stain and paint

all our furniture

that i can do all my own building and painting of my boats sure saves me alot of dollars and im pretty fussy when it comes to building and painting my riggers

the twin is 70 % back together i will post pic when all done

cheers rick

Yes Charlie, As Rick said, the West Systems is the way to go. That is what we used to do all of the glass work on your twin. I prefer two coats on the bare wood and you'll be ready for paint. I like to use two coats of West, because it will fill the grain with a more durable sustance than the primer or paint and is lighter. Wipe or scrape off the excess on the first coat and the sanding job will be much quicker. Be sure not to let it build up around the sharp bottom corners, wipe the excess off with a rag or sponge while the epoxy is still fluid. Try to keep them as sharp as possible. Put the second coat on with a foam type brush and it will flow out nicely...again be sure to keep the corners clean of excess. If I want a really fast boat, I do not paint the bottom. Just the two coats of West on the bottom.
